our opiA, LI
WITH 511.1. SMILEY
A vast change has cope over
summer living in the , Canadian
small town in the past twenty or
thirty years. And I'm not at all
sure that it's been a change for
tale better.
* r.
This ()fiat thought came to mo
tonight. We've had a week. of
real, old-fashioned, hot summer
weather, and as 1 .sat hero in ihe
quiet, cool kitchen with nothing
but the thundering of the moths
against the screen doer to dit-
tract me, 1 got reminiscingLabout
summer in the '20's:sohon rwas a
skinny, little, freckle -faced kid,'
*
For some strange reason, in
those. days kids didn't ,gome run-
'ning in to their mothers eight
times a day, whinning: "What'll
we do, Mom? Gee, there's no fun
outside. How about taking us for a
swim? Can we have a nickle for a
popsickle?"
* * *
Quite the contrary. Mothers in
thosedays practically had to call.
the police to locate their young-
sters so theecould drag them in
and feed them three times a day.
For children of those times, there
simply were not enough hours in
the day, and night always %filar
•too early.
* *" *
For a boy, in those days, there
were about 480 fascinating things
to 'do on a fine-atimmer day. There
were. ea, organind. swimmigg, les-
sons, no organiz�d
no organized anything. Everything
Was beautifully disorganized.' You
snatched a bread -and -jam sandwich
in the cool, bright of the morning,
and, took off like a scared. rabbit.
• Maybe ,you went up to i'he fair-
grounds and played hardball (soft.
ball was a girl'sgame in those
days) all morning. There'd be
about twelve kids on each side,
and every pitch, every close play,
was argued violently, With a lot
of pushing inthe chest and fierce
repartee like: "Oh, Yeah? Sez
Who?"
• * 4:
Maybe you took a swing around
by the sandpit, crawled into the
carefully concealed cave and lay
around with the gang, smoking
monkey tobacco in toilet paper,
and plotting a horrible fate for the
gang in the next street over.
*
After supper, a swift gulping
of corn en the cob and cold apple
sauce, new delights beckoned. You
could climb into the tree -house and
kick little girls in the face when
they tried to climb up. There was
Run -Sheep -Run and Redlight in ther
gathering dusk. There was creep-
ing up, with suppressed giggles, on
your big sister and her beau as
they sat in suspiciods silence on
the porch.
* *
It was with the sharpest of pain
and the mast bitter of sorrow that
you heard your ;mother's whistle
or piercing "Y000Hoo" tollifig the
knell of parting day. Every Mo-
ther 'had a differentcall for her
brood, and we knew our own from
two blocks away. And every father
had tho same treatment for kids
who failed to respond—I hearty
.clip on the_chops. We came home,
not joyfully, but promptly.
The alitomobile-and-television
, have changed all that' Kids are 'all
over, the country now, on summer
evenings. They're driven some-
where to play ball, with a tot of
other "organized" boys. Orthey've
wheedled their folks into 'taking
them to .the drive-in theatre. Or
they're sleeping in strange beds at
somebody's cottage, while theit
parents sit around drinking gin
collinses.
* * *
Or the poor little souls are
crouched, with senseless stare, in
front of a TV set, watching a
replay of one of last winter's pro-
grammes, while in the soft, warm
outdoors, the birds and the trees
and, ,the moon mourn 'the days
when the piping voices of children
at play provided a counterpoint to
the mejoety of ,a velvet., summer
evening.
Maybe you just sat ontop of a
wall, in the sun, chewing licorice
and seeing who could spit the farth-
est, Maybe you'd "sneak up" on
semetiody,traviling through tomafo
plants'and corn stalks until -you-
lay there, knife between your
teeth, watching every move of a
woman hanging out her clothes, in
happy ignorance of, the fact that
only tho guns poking from the -j --Star brings -quick -result .
